Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Some pet stores do sell liners for female diapers and belly bands. However, some of these are a little expensive. You can try your local wholesale retailer (like a Sam's Club or Costco) for generic sanitary pads for women than may fit nicely and work well.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Lucy was in an altercation with another dog and that area was injured then it is very likely a bruise. Bruises will fade on their own over time and do not need any treatment. I would check it daily and be sure it has faded away over 5-7 days. If the area increases in size, she starts scratching the area then it may be a hot spot or the start of a skin infection. I wish Lucy the best!

You can put a t-shirt on Yankee over the bandages. Secure them with tape, and then cover him with a t-shirt. That should help keep the bandages in place. There are also surgical shirts you can get that will help keep the tumors covered and the bandages in place: http://medicalpetshirts.com

Hi, I'm Dr. Johnson. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Lucy! The best way for the area to heal is to prevent Lucy from rubbing her nose. I'd recommend getting an Elizabethan Collar (aka "The Cone of Shame") and then apply some triple antibiotic on the area twice daily. Keep using the Cone until the area has healed. You can get Elizabethan collars at your vet and some pet stores. Good luck!

Poor Lucy! This does look very irritated and she may have developed an infection in the skin which would make her even more uncomfortable and itchy. If she didn't do well with the cone, I would try a small shirt or a baby onesie to cover the area so she can't cause further damage to it. I would keep it clean by using a gentle antiseptic such as Hibiclens or dilute betadine (diluted to the color of weak tea). After cleaning, dry the area and then apply a thin film of triple antibiotic ointment. You can do this twice a day. You can also put a little hydrocortisone cream on it to help with the irritation. If you do this for a few days and it is not improving, I would recommend taking Lucy to the vet. Some infections are so deep that just topical treatment won't get rid of them and they need oral medications. I hope this helps and that Lucy gets feeling better soon!
